There’s nothing easier than black.
Its elegant,it’s edgy, its prim. Its whatever you dress it up to be and that’s the beauty of it.
Dressing it down with a fresh face couldn’t be chicher right now, as demonstrated by the always well turned out Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Leigh Lezark and Poppy Delvingne who all rocked up to the same event in the same hue and all stood out. Done right, nothing serves you better.

Get the Look:

Smashbox literally have a primer for everything. If you want to keep your make-up in place but still want dewy skin, this is fantastic.

Smashbox, Photo Finish Foundation Primer, £25, Boots

All you need to finish this look is: a great foundation- I’m still loving Laura Mercier’s Flawless Foundation, a little liner- Chanel’s Effortless Definition liquid eyeliner in Brown (£27.00, Boots,) and fuss-free hair.

This tailored jumpsuit from Whistles is perfect for the evening.

Another Whistles winner perfect for day or night.

Simple and a bargain, this is the perfect canvas.

As is this.

For something a bit different, the harness detailing sets this Finders Keepers’ one-piece apart
